Yeah, I remembered Sector 9 from the Rocket Arena Mod, the first time I played UC2's Fury. Nice map.

But I wonder about the other maps, that are listed in the "classic map list". Morbias, Gauntlet and Tempest are clear. But AcidRain and Legacy? Is Legacy supposed to be a remake of UT's DM-Pyramid? And what's the origin of AcidRain?

Mmm? Good points. I imagine that Legacy is derived from the classic Pyramid Map in UT, since they definitely resemble each other more than any other I could think of. Acid Rain on the other hand remains a mystery to me - however, I'm sure that somebody has the answer to our burning question.

All of the maps from the "Classic" map list have some earlier roots that we felt it was worth paying homage to. The layout for DM-Fury was based on the Rocket Arena map by Rich Eastwood. Acid Rain was based off of the Rocket Arena map from Inoxx. (Can you tell I'm a huge RA fan?) Legacy was (loosely) based off of DM-Pyramid from UT99. Gauntlet, Morbias, and Tempest were ports; and for the record, Tempest (99) is one of my favorite maps of all time.

Sweet, thanks for the info.

So Acid Rain came from Inoxx? Wow, I'm gonna' go fire up UT 99 to check that one out. I've always enjoyed Rocket Arena myself - definitely a fun gametype. Tempest has a pretty cool overall layout, although it's difficult to say which version is actually better. I enjoy the atmosphere and darker qualities from the original - even though the corridors and scale of the first is significantly smaller.
